Respite Care

You and your loved one need time for some rest and relaxation. We provide the caregiver relief with our Restore and Rejuvenate Program for your loved one, so you can take care of yourself.

Your loved one will:

Receive quality care when the primary caregiver is away.

Interact with others having similar experiences.

Spend time in a safe, supportive environment.

Participate in activities designed to match personal abilities and needs.

Tips for planning Respite Care

Involve your loved one. When planning for time off from your caregiving duties, make sure to keep your loved one in the loop. Get their input on deciding how much time you will be away and who will fill in for you when you’re gone. Make sure to tell them that they will benefit from you being more relaxed and refreshed. Assure them that they will also reap rewards from socializing with other people.

Assess your needs. Make a list of what care will be needed in your absence. Also decide if the respite care provider will need any special skills or training to be able to stay with your loved one. If so, understand that your options for respite caregivers may be more limited.

Stay organized. Use a calendar to keep track of appointments and send requests to friends and family. Don’t forget to include time for yourself and note it on the calendar.

You may believe that you should be able to “do it all.” Seeking help does not mean you don’t care. On the contrary, respite services benefit your loved one as well as you, by providing them with opportunities for socialization and a change of scenery.

Respiratory Therapy

Twin Rivers Nursing & Rehabilitation offers in-house respiratory therapy services five days a week and on call. Respiratory therapy is a program of exercises and treatments designed to help patients maintain and recover lung function after an illness, injury or surgery. Our respiratory therapists are specially trained to provide respiratory care under the direction of your physician.
